The national nude photography contest, which was scheduled to be held in Cheorwon, Gangwon-do, was canceled amid controversy over the commercialization of sex.
The 18th Cheorwon Hantangang National Nude Filming Contest, which was scheduled to be held on the 22nd, has been canceled.
This event is a contest where photographers from all over the country pay a certain amount to hire a professional nude model to take a picture.
It is said that Cheorwon-gun has been supporting the tournament budget by 10 million won every year. When the news that the tournament was suspended from 2020 due to Corona, and that it will be held again this year, became known online, 'It is an anachronism that it is a sex commodification event with taxes', 'cold Criticisms such as 'Nude in Cheorwon even on the weather' were poured out.
In the end, Cheorwon-gun and the organizers accepted this public opinion and decided to cancel the event, but a Cheorwon-gun official said, 'We plan to discuss how to organize the event differently in the future'.
